I don’t have a picture of my soup. The reason it’s called Swamp Soup is cuz it looks like something you’d find in the swamp, kinda grassy, with chunks and bits. It goes great with some cornbread. It’s best if cooked with fresh ingredients, but if they’re not available frozen and canned will do in a pinch. #GoldenApron23

I love to bake sweet stuff, with a bit of savory tasty cooking thrown into the mix. Just good ol’ southern cuisine. Most of my recipes were handed down from my Great & Grand Grannies. If they didn’t grow it or raise it, it wasn’t eaten. My hubby and I have alot of food allergies so it gets challenging sometimes to make things that we both can eat. Neither of us can eat shellfish, which is sad, considering where we live, cuz it’s everywhere! Y’all won’t find any shellfish /saltwater fish recipes here. Some fresh water fishes, maybe. Hope y’all enjoy my recipes!
